SpamSieve: powerful Bayesian spam filtering to Mac e-mail clients

http://c-command.com/spamsieve

SpamSieve is just what I needed (and everyone else) who has to deal with a bunch of email accounts (IMAP, POP, whatever) for work, personal, etc… Also a bigger issue comes in if you use POP or IMAP with an iPhone, Blackberry, etc.

SpamSieve has been working beautifully for me the past few days since I’ve installed it. It’s easy, costs $30 bucks, and works very easily with a few tweaks here and there.

First you install the plug-in for your Mac Mail client, set a Spam Filtering Rule, and it starts to work immediately on all the accounts you check. At first you just need to go through and mark messages as good and mark messages as bad so you can start to train it. SO far the only messages that got flagged wrong as spam were newsletters and a support request I got for work and since they all go to a folder it’s easy to go in and look through them. It also color codes the messages by how strong of a spam reading they get.

So since phones don’t have junk mail filtering it’s amazing to use this. All you do is open your mail client a few times a day or at the end of the day and if you’re using IMAP it will suck all the junk mail messages out and off the server so when your phone goes to check it, it’s only the messages you want. Also you don’t have to spend time tidying up your Phone’s inbox because at the end of the day you can open your mail client and it will clean it up!

Rambling, just get it. It’s worth the money. There’s a trail so you can see for yourself.

ps. sometimes I like to use run on sentences, so deal with it.
